I put the vertical exhaust kit on my 3520. The big advantage for me was a clean loader arm. It always drove me nuts to have to clean that black exhaust off the arm. Now it stays clean and I don't get black all over my shirts and pants when greasing it.
It is very easy to install. The under side of the hood will be marked for the hole saw and the edges of the hole are covered by a rubber gasket. The exhaust drops down on the pipe under the hood. Four positions, front, left, right, and rear which you would not want. Gases would be blowing in your face.
I would do it again, no queation.

Love mine, although it did get stuck on once.
I purchased my JD in April of 07, put over 100 hours on it the first year, and just last week discovered this community. The feedback and communication has been exciting and very helpful. Thanks for the feedback & pictures of the vertical exhaust. I can't wait to install the parts I have on order.

Deererunr, it only takes about 1/2 hour to do the vertical exhaust install with the proper tools. It will take you longer to get the tools together than to do the actual install. Its pretty easy. The hood drills really easy with a hole saw. If you want to send me your emial I can send you pics of my install. It may help you. dirtworksequip@aol.com

Dirt, That is one handsome tractor. The only thing you need is a foot of snow and minus 40 windchill to really appreciate that cab.

Thanks Terry, it actually looks a little different since I installed the right and left outside mirrors.I've enjoyed the cab from day one. I like it no matter what the weather is. The weather doesn't have to be severe to appreciate being isolated from the outside............. You can keep the snow!

Dirt, The snow and cold keeps the killer bees and fire ants in Texas. It doesn't seem to deter the misquitos though.
As global warming (climate change) continues I suppose both will be in Minnesota within the next 10 years. Oh well, At least I'l be safe in my cab.

I would like to install the kit on my 990 as the parts book shows basically the same kit but would like to know what keeps the stack from moving around as you can not get to any bolts? Also what size hole saw do you need? I have the same problem as to eating fumes and making the loader arms and weight black. Thanks Eric
